*See You At The Pole is Wednesday!! 7:15 Hope to see you there!! :)I haven't seen any posters reminding the kids about it this year, so we wrote it in the planner but we wrote down the wrong day! Hope that doesn't offend anyone - if it does I apologize.

*Mid-Terms go home on WEDNESDAY in the folder. This is a progress report and shows how your child is doing so far. We will have about 4 more weeks to bring up or maintain grades until the actual Report Cards come home. If you have any questions, please email me! megan.burton@fayette.kyschools.us

*Spanish Club meets this Friday from 3-4

Good afternoon! Here's what we did today:

Math: Today we worked on word problems very similar to the ones the kids will see on the test. I've decided we need more practice with this, so the test will be on Thursday of this week. Students have a study guide to go over with you when they get home (we completed this in class) and then a few problems to work on tonight that will again be similar to the wording the test uses.
HW: problems on paper, PRACTICE multiplication facts PLEASE!!

Reading: Today in reading we began learning about character traits. We started with a silly drawing of ourselves to describe our own personalities and then at the end of the class did this same thing to tell about a character in our Lit. Book.  We also read a story in our Treasures book and completed a character trait on the main characters. 
*Lit. Books need to be finished by Oct. 4th. We will have our test then. If your child is going to be absent the week of Fall Break, please let me know so they can take the test early. 
HW: none

Science: Today we continued learning about ecosystems and also began learning about harmful and beneficial changes to the environment. I've asked students to watch maybe 10 minutes of the news today to see anything about the environment on TV. We had a great discussion about whether it is harmful or beneficial to the environment and then harmful or beneficial to humans from building extra hotels on empty land for the WEG games. Please don't think I'm against the games, it just brings up an awesome point in what we're learning. We had amazing conversations back and forth about this! It was neat!  We also finally graphed our Science tests so those should be coming home to you in the Red Folder.
HW: watch maybe 10 minutes of the news today to see anything about the environment on TV
Supplies: Also, if you are able to send in some of the supplies by Friday that would be great!
5 empty 2-liter bottles
gravel
dirt
Writing: During writing time we worked on spelling conferences with the PTA piece and the Memoir.
No HW

*SS tests are also coming home tonight in the Red Folder.

 Have a good night,
